The U.S. Government Printing Office, or GPO, is extending the reach of its Federal e-books program through a new partnership with Barnes & Noble to make its books available in e-book format for the Nook eReader. Among the 30 Federal e-books that can be downloaded are: Public Papers of President Barack Obama, Deep Water: The Gulf Oil Disaster and the Future of Offshore Drilling, and the newly released Basic Guide to Exporting. Barnes & Noble already sells physical GPO releases.
"GPO continues to expand into the e-book market and make more Federal titles available to the public," said acting public printer Davita Vance-Cooks. GPO e-books are also available from Amazon, Google, OverDrive, Ingram, and Zinio, among others.
